Seaport of Azov has been expanded by RF Government decree through inclusion of a plot of land 10.5 km from the mouth of the Don river intended for construction of a terminal for shipments of export grain and general cargo. The terminal will have the capacity of 700,000 t, says press center of FSUE Rosmorport.

The terminal which is to be built at the mentioned plot of land will be able to accommodate vessels with deadweight of up to 5,000 t.
